Capel Curig in Wales saw half a month's rain in the space of 24 hours on Saturday.

Parts of England and Wales remain at risk of flooding after heavy rain over the weekend.

On Monday afternoon, there were 17 flood warnings - meaning flooding is expected - as well as 25 flood alerts, which means it is possible. The wet weather has caused river levels to rise and forced some communities to install temporary flood barriers and defences.Six flood warnings are in force along the River Ouse, including two in York, and there are five warnings along the River Severn.

Defences have been installed in parts of the Midlands to protect residents from the Severn's rising levels. The Shropshire Star reports that hundreds of acres of farmland are flooded along the Shropshire and Wales border and a number of roads and car parks have closed.Warnings have also been issued along the River Dee, River Swale and River Ure.
